Speaking during a recent performance, the singer described what he sees as a growing national hostility towards nature, highlighting his observations along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

“I drove on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway today, they are cutting down the trees. When a Nigerian buys, they cut, they hate trees. Nigerians have a war against trees, we have a war against nature. I don’t know why,” he said.

Beautiful Nubia questioned the rationale behind clearing land completely before development, replacing natural vegetation with concrete.

“Something is really wrong with our brains that we hate green, we have trees, we hate seeing grass. When Nigerians buy land they cut the trees and cement the whole floor. What is wrong with you and the tree?” he asked.
